OFF THE MARK: Halburn Sucks!




Halburn Harasses Utility Before He's Even Connected.


Whether it's AEP, Frontier, Suddenlink, or the water company, after more than 10 years of dealing with West Virginia utilities, the evidence is clear: Mark Halburn won't be happy with anything they do.
Halburn says it took about a half-dozen complaints to the West Virginia Public Service Commission to get decent electrical service from AEP.
There's the first lie. He filed exactly THREE complaints against AEP. ALL of them were dismissed.
Then he says that the WVPSC allowed a sewer project to tear up a portion of his front yard and didn't have to replace the grass.
Another lie. The Putnam Public Service District planted grass. That wasn't good enough. Halburn wanted sod put down. He wanted them to come over and water it every day.
And he says complaining about Suddenlink's service doesn't do much good.
Not for him obviously. Because he lost both complaints he filed against them.

He says he doesn't know which is more worthless. West Virginia utilities or the WV Public Service Commission.
How about a third choice Halburn?
YOU!
You're the most worthless sack of shit we've ever seen. The world doesn't revolve around you. You would complain about anything. You waste government employees' time and cost West Virginians tax dollars by filing frivolous complaints. You cost the utilities and their customers money having to defend themselves.

Several weeks ago, enticed by a free HDTV and Blu-Ray (he calls it Blue Ray) player offer, (Halburn always wants something for nothing) and a better rate, he called Frontier and ordered their bundle package.
Is he in for a rude awakening.

The funny thing is that Frontier's TV service is provided by Dish Network. He's really going to blow a gasket every time the wind blows hard and he loses his signal. Plus, he'll need a receiver for his other 7 televisions which is going to cost him at least 7 bucks per receiver per month depending on what bells and whistles he gets.
And then he'll be even more pissed when he finds out that the PSC has no jurisdiction over Dish Network whatsoever.
He won't be able to file a complaint against God about the weather when it rains hard and he can't watch Extreme Makeover or some other lame show.

Frontier just does the billing for Dish. They don't have anything to do with and aren't responsible for supplying the service.

When he eventually gets pissed off about this deal, and you know that he will, they'll be happy to let him cancel his service, except he's going to have to pay Dish $18.00 a month for the remainder of his 24 month contract. Plus Frontier's going to want their $400 early termination fee fee as well.
He's not even connected yet and he's already harassing the Frontier employees. He thinks he can just keep calling until he get the results he wants. This is how bullies work.
Remember, he's a serial phone harasser. He was arrested for harassing a construction supervisor via phone while the Walmart was being built. He called the Hurricane City Building so many times (30 times in a day) that they had to get the city attorney to send him a cease and desist letter.
He goes on:
"When I ask for a supervisor, you guessed it, I am disconnected. When I call back, I am disconnected AGAIN! Another call bounces me around Frontier and I finally get someone who wants to argue with me about the HDTV install."
And that's what it's all about folks. Halburn WANTS to argue. He's looking for any reason to show everyone how right he is. And he'll argue until they finally submit to his will.
It's no wonder he was disconnected several times with the abuse he was heaping on them. The spit was probably shooting out of their phones. His squealy voice probably damaged their hearing.
After that, they gave him a roundhouse kick to the sack:
"After getting bounced to three different people, a tech rep drops the nuclear bomb. "Your HDTV and Blue Ray won't arrive for four weeks."

And then when the tech does show up Hallburn says:

"Of course, they don't bring the HDTV and Blue Ray"
Of course they didn't dummy. They just told you that you weren't getting it for a month. Get over it. You already have 8 other TVs for fuck's sake. Watch one of them.
Then he tops off the whole pile by saying:

"The worst thing about this is that on a Friday evening, I can't run down to the WVPSC and file a complaint- not that I think it would do much good"
No, you'll just have to wait until Monday and we're sure that's exactly what you'll do.
And you're right. It won't do any good at all. You will lose this complaint exactly like you lost the others..

We'll have his latest PSC complaint here at PutnamLIES.com as soon as he files it.

UPDATE: As he always does, and being the pussy that he is, once he got heat for his article, he pulled it from his site.

UPDATE 2: Within two weeks of this story, Halburn filed a complaint with the WV Public Service Commission against Frontier. They filed their answer. And he responded with his.
Unfortunately for him, as we said previously, the WV PSC has absolutely NO jurisdiction over internet services or satellite TV services. He had no basis for a claim and his complaint was DENIED once again.

  1. He's the purest form of a welfare case. Wants something for nothing and doesn't work.

  2. Unbelievable! I'm surprised that he even has anyone that will hook him up to utilities at this point. We should send him a big block of cheese to go with his WHINE!!!

  4. Make no mistake, it's still there. He just moved it to the opinion section and added an editorial note.

  5. Yeah, we know.
    The point is, that he pulled it off the main page and left up an older opinion piece.
